I'm giving this coffee maker two stars because I do like it's functionality and it does a good job at brewing with the wedge shaped basket, better than the flat ones. But the reason my review is negative is because I'm reviewing a replacement unit after the original failed in less than six months. I've had cheap coffee makers that lasted so long they got grimy or I wanted a fancier model, I just tossed them. But the carafe heater / water boiler NEVER failed, and this one failed in less than six months. For a unit at this price point that is unacceptable.

This is our third cuisnart coffee maker and we love it. Absolutely beautiful and makes the best coffee. Our daughter is a nurse and has to get up at crazy hours. She uses the auto start programing and loves the coffee is ready when she wakes. Great job cuisnart, the whole family loves it.

We love our new 2 n 1 coffee maker. I especially enjoy the Iced Coffee option. We had the older model for 8+ years it was still working, but it was time for an upgrade. I like the design of this and once you figure out the options it’s very easy to use.

After returning the first one I bought because the individual serve function did not work at all, this second one has been performing well. Greatest frustration is with the height clearance with the individual serve as it is a very tight fit (or no fit) for most of my 12 oz or larger travel mugs. I also wish the preprogram setting allowed for the “strong” brew setting like my previous model.

I finally got rid of my keurig and got a coffeemaker that gives me a consistently good cup of coffee. I've gone through three keurigs and it took me that long to learn my lesson. In this coffeemaker, the water stays fresh, the water stays hot and the options for different brews are more than adequate. Although we have had the machine only one month I am optimistic that it will be worth the price tag.

I had been using a different brand of coffee dual use maker went through 3 of them in a year. So I decided to give Cuisinart a try. The first maker lasted approximately 3 weeks before the single serve side quit working. I took it back to the store of purchase and got a second one. Set it up for use the next morning. That morning I noticed a little water on the counter but figured I may have spilled the night before. I decided to set it up for the next morning because I knew I was going to be late getting home that night. When I left the water was at the max level. When I got home there was water all over the counter and floor and the water level was below the minimum level! I took it back to the store and got my money back and went to a different store and bought another higher quality brand. I cannot recommend this product by Cuisinart!

I think this machine is not only stylish but also very versatile and effective. It brews coffee at the perfect temperature. It also has great variation in the number of ounces for individual drinks and the design allows for almost any sized cup. This product exemplifies why Cuisinart has such a great reputation. I highly recommend this unit!

I really love my new coffee center 2-in-1, however, I have to take the water reservoir out of the center after brewing a cup or water runs all over the counter. It is very disappointing to have the reservoir sitting separately on the counter. I’m not sure how to fix this problem as I’ve already returned one for the same issue.

I love this machine! Very nicely made and looks classy compared to the 3 Keurigs I've owned in the past that stopped working including 1 that was only 3 months old and they refused to replace because I didn't keep my receipt. I Will never go back to Keurig after using the Cuisinart. It's a much better made machine than Keurig!

When making a pot of coffee, having difficulty not having it overrun with grounds. cannot make 12 cups because when you put the correct amount of coffee in it, it overflows with grounds many times over. not please with this coffeemaker at all. also in the pod section, have had several k-cups burst causing grounds to spill over and make a mess.
